Toothpaste
 

Has anyone else noticed lately that toothpaste is getting a bit messy? since the introduction of the lift top things some toothpaste is just a nightmare to get out the damn tubes - and it isnt just me that has this disability as i talked to some other people and they agree (or we are all mad) when toothpaste used to have a screw top the top of my toothpaste was pretty clean and i never had a hard pile of dry toothpaste blocking the top so i only get a little bit come out at a time or i have to some how suck this lump out the end to get a proper flow.

now its not all toothpaste that smart blue toothpaste seems to flow nicely and cut off off even better leaving no mess.

so is anyone else having a right time of it with toothpaste lately?

Re: Toothpaste
 

Rinse it under the tap, after cleaning yer tooths

Re: Toothpaste
 

the flip tops do unscrew as well you know....

Re: Toothpaste
 

i just stopped brushing

Re: Toothpaste
 

Then I'm not gonna kiss you ;)

Re: Toothpaste
 

You can occasionally unscrew the flip top & (using someone elses brush) clean it out under the tap.

Re: Toothpaste
 

sounds like your missing the squeezing of the tube in the palm of your hand.

When I saw the title of this thread and the towel thread I thought we were in danger of becoming domesticated.Reading both threads I'm glad to see that it is no such case.

Now waiting for one on clearing out the lint on the drier or cleaning the oven or the horrors of cleaning the fridge.I wonder how gross those can get knowing us as a group.

Incog.:)

Toothpaste, :D

What a wonderful invention. The perfect alternative to blutack. Dries rock hard, water soluble for easy removal, doesn't leave a greasy stain behind.

Re: Toothpaste

Oh dear I think Peachey has had much too much influence on you.

Incog.;)

That reminds me, I need some of that, its good for starting a fire when you have nowt else available.. (Scouting survival course coming up).

Returning to the subject of toothpaste, its very good at being used to remove crayon etc from wallpaper, cleaning scribbled on furniture etc.

Has anyone tried the automatic dispensers?
Where you invert the tube into it & put a button or turn a knob (now, now) to dispense a measured amount of the paste.

And as for cleaning the toothpast nozzle on a std tube, this should be done
reguraly as a matter of course. Just think how much muck could be on someone elses brush & if they brush it along the top of the tube & your next....Eewwwww.

Re: Toothpaste
 

:LOL: my thoughts entirely

Re: Toothpaste
 

Buy a smaller tube so that it will get replaced more frequently?

Re: Toothpaste
 

Would cleaning fluff out of one's navel be gross enough? :)

Re: Toothpaste
 

Absolutely! :sick:
I agree though - toothpaste does seem to get mucked up easily with those caps - but surprisingly it's nowhere near as bad when my daughters are not in residence? ;)

Re: Toothpaste
 

Wot about picking the dead skin from round your toes? (cannot do the navel thing, have not got one after an op. :shocked: )

Re: Toothpaste
 

Personally, I consider that tootpaste has never been the same since they got rid of the soft metal tubes that you could roll up from the bottom as the tootpaste was used. It ranks with sticking the sliver of old soap onto the new bar in giving you a virtuous sense of being frugal. Of course, this could just be a hangover from my young days when socks were darned, Sunday's roast became a fry up on Monday etc.

Some alternatives! :) The 2 in 1 has more of a gel consistency - might reduce clogging.

Re: Toothpaste
 

Yeah, well, they did the same with the sqidgy HP Sauce bottles and that has EXACTLY the same problem.

I stick with the glass one now thanks very much.

Re: Toothpaste
 

hmm! I can feel a new award just around the corner.Along the lines of the grossest posting.:)

OOOHHH nearly got one, better luck next time [img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

Re: Toothpaste
 

I used to know the technical term for that...

Re: Toothpaste
 

Colgate are doing toothpaste chewing gum now .... :D

Re: Toothpaste
 

May I submit the name of Robert Grosseteste, the extremely learnÃÃâ€*’¨d Bishop of Lincoln, for this award.

Re: Toothpaste
 

You mean that there is a technical term for it? You live and learn!

I'm trying to remember who it was who suggested that navels are designed for keeping the salt in when eating crisps in bed. PS If the connection between salt and packet of crisps has just whizzed over your head without the slightest sign of stopping, ask your parents. Use some phrase such as "little blue packet".

Re: Toothpaste
 

OK I'll bite.Why?:)

Incog.

Re: Toothpaste
 

Only because it's quite close in spelling to grossest. :)

Re: Toothpaste
 

I would imagine it is good because it contains a very mild abrasive. Dentally challenged individuals who try using Ajax to get a brilliant set of choppers soon discover that it strips the enamel off quite quickly, leaving them with an unsightly yellow set.
